The event takes place in downtown Nashville on August 29th
Big Machine Label Group will toast to two decades of chart-topping hits and genre-defining talent with a multi-artist concert in downtown Nashville on August 29th. Billed as Big Machine 20, the evening serves as the official kick-off party for the newly rebranded Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix NTT IndyCar Series Championship weekend.
Artists from the label group’s roster will take the stage on lower Broadway including Riley Green, Sheryl Crow, and Brett Young, joined by stars from throughout BMLG’s 20-year history, including The Band Perry, RaeLynn, Danielle Peck, Danielle Bradbery, Jack Ingram, and Jimmy Wayne, as well as current-day up-and-coming stars such as Preston Cooper.
Big Machine 20 will also include the fifth annual Freedom Friday event, honoring members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes. Last year’s Freedom Friday concert saw more than 118,000 attendees pack into the heart of Nashville for live music, exclusive sponsor activations, and pre-race excitement ahead of the NTT IndyCar Series event.

This is our thank you to Nashville and all the fans of our amazing artists and their music. This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime event and one we’ll never forget!”
